By moving on from SF I mean within the nationalist community, when / if an alternative develops. SF are merely ensuring peace holds and partition becomes acceptable on a permanent basis.

They are now promoting and protecting the unionist veto, have accepted and are working partition, and are desperately trying to be accepted by the elite both sides of the border. $500 a plate functions and free global travel in business or 1st class carriage can have that kind of effect upon people.

That is the dilemma facing any group trying to apply the same remedy to the British occupation here.
